Interview 01/02/2010 Ah Gerry is so funny. The Butler did it Posted By KEVIN WILLIAMSON, QMI AGENCY Posted 14 hours ago With the animated How to Train Your Dragon, has Gerard Butler finally found a co-star he won't be romantically linked to? "I wouldn't be surprised if I was linked to Jay Baruchel or Craig Ferguson," he tells QMI Agency, chuckling with the laugh of a man who has his own TMZ theme song. "But maybe they'll come up with a way to say I had an affair with the dragon. Or that I had sex with all of them." In How to Train Your Dragon,which opens in March, the Scottish-born Butler supplies the voice of Stoick, one of the elder warriors in a village of Vikings at war with neighbouring dragons. Baruchel voices the film's unlikely hero, a would-be dragon slayer who discovers maybe the creatures aren't so terrible after all. In addition to talk-show host Ferguson (the older Vikings all have Scottish accents while the younger ones speak with modern American ones), the cast includes America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. For Butler, Dragon marks the latest in a seemingly nonstop string of projects. In 2009, he starred in The Ugly Truth, Gamer andLaw-Abiding Citizen. In the months ahead, in addition to Dragon, he will also be seen in The Bounty Hunter opposite -- cue those inevitable rumours -- Jennifer Aniston. "The last nine years since I moved to Los Angeles have been a slog," he says on the phone from Hollywood. "It's been fun and exhilarating, but it's also been a lot of work. I break repeated promises to myself to work less." But the offer to voice a Viking warrior in an animated movie was just too appealing to pass up, he says. "There is validation when you're asked to do an animated voice because it's your voice they want, not how you look. It doesn't happen everyday -- hosting Saturday Night Live was another time." What animated movies does Butler remember growing up with? "The Jungle Book-- that's the one that sticks in my memory, so much so it's blocking all the rest out. When it came out -- because we didn't have as many movie theatres in Scotland as we should have -- I went to the movies three times before I could get in because it was sold out every time. Then when I did get in, I watched it four times. It was a big thing for me. www.thebarrieexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2243895Ah The Jungle Book sticks out in me head too, one of the first movies I saw on a real big screen in a real movie theatre, before then I had just seen movies at the library or a local club, with those creaky old 35 mm projectors. Oh and I have to admit, I love the TMZ Gerry Butler song

I saw Avatar yesterday in IMAX and they showed scenes from How to train your dragon and I'm assuming that will be in IMAX as well... You know what before I realized what I was watching in the previews they showed the chubby Viking and I thought, "Huh... that Viking has a Scottish accent..." Then I realized it was Gerry...LOL!!! Looks really good by the way. On a side note (OFF TOPIC) after the movie Hubby and I went out to eat and he plays being jealous of Gerry, but he really isn't he just likes to tease me. We stopped in this cooking store cause we were a little early for our reservations and they had a whole turn thingy full of cookie cutters and he says: "Look they have a Gerard Butler cookie cutter!" I said, "Oh yeah, what does it look like?" and he said, "A dick!" Then he said, "You walked into that one!"

Gerry & Craig together again at special Dreamworks event today:www.hitfix.com/blogs/2008-12-11-awards-campaign-2009/posts/gerard-butler-and-craig-fergson-talk-dragon-and-nbc-late-night-controversyButler and Ferguson said they had the chance to record with Baruchel at one time, but that overall it's been a pretty long process. Butler has been recording and re-recording every month or six weeks since "300" debuted in March 2007 and Ferguson has been on board for a year and a half. Needless to say the results are pretty impressive. The movie is embargoed from a full review at the moment and some shots were not completed, but its certainly up there with "Kung Fu Panda" as one of DreamWorks Ani's best films. "Dragon" features beautiful character animation (gorgeously lit by none other than Roger Deakins), some genuinely perilous moments and this pundit may have been close to being a tad verklempt at the end. In fact, while the movie is clearly it's own animal, er, dragon, it feels closer in town to a Pixar film than of DreamWorks previous releases. That's not to say it's trying to be one, but there is an artistic seriousness here the filmmakers pull off that takes it to another level (you could say the same for the stop-motion "Coraline" for instance). The rest of the conversation with Butler and Ferguson was a bit to bawdry to be repeated here (perhaps due to the fact it wasn't being recorded), but I was able to ask Ferguson his thoughts on the current Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien fiasco. Ferguson, who has hosted "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson" since 2005, finds it ironic that he and Letterman are being lauded for their stability, but overall seems to be over the whole mess. "I feel like an AIG executive," Ferguson joked. He added that there's something wrong about all these white millionaires complaining about their shows and money.

That is a very nice picture. Gawd, he looks good. You know, I sent Craig Ferguson an e-mail suggesting that for promotion of this movie, they should do a full hour on C.F.'s show taking turns interviewing each other. They are so funny together, and since they are such good friends, that would be a great show. IMO.
